After last week's Elimination Ceremony, the girls have to tell the guys they voted to eliminate Jen. Needless to say, the guys are pissed, especially Mark, who leads the men in the most shocking walk-out ever. (BTW, walking-out is a $50 BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY!) Mark goes so far as to tell Andrea "don't ever talk to me again. You guys are the stupidest people I know. And that's all I know." God, MENSA members can be so cruel. Mark's not very nice either.
Later, Mark and Shannon are seen outside trying to talk out their differences. Mark wants to know what he can do to make Shannon feel comfortable around the house. Shannon's answer? The perfect cheer. Too bad Mark's saving it for someone else.
The teams meet Caroline in the Elimination Chamber. Caroline starts to talk about this being a numbers game, pointing out that, according to the Scale-O-Tronic 4025's numbers, Pete and Shannon are their team's biggest losers. Meanwhile, according to public opinion numbers, Nick is still humanity's biggest loser. She also tells them that as of now their teams are gone. Wha wha wha?! Later today, the contestants will be divided into four teams, three male/female and one male/male. Each team will still compete in challenges, just like before, but at the Weigh-In, the team with the lowest percentage of weight lost will be up for elimination. The remaining players will get to vote out one member of the losing team. 
The surviving team member will then have to perform Cartman's rendition of I'm a Little Teapot whilst wearing a beard of pubes: "I'm a little piggy, here's my snout. Oink, oink, oink. Oink, oink, oink."
Obviously, people are upset. But perhaps none more than SFPD's finest, Mark. "It kind of floors me. I don't like anybody on the girl's team," he says, displaying a wit unworthy of Dusty Harry. "I deal with dirtbags at work, but I don't feel like dealing with them here. You tell me I'm gonna be pairing up with one of them, and it makes me sick." Thanks Mark. I'm sure Suzi, Andrea and Shannon appreciate being compared to San Fran dirtbags like The Zodiac Killer and Michael Savage. At this, Suzi cries (no surprise), while Andrea and Shannon express their disgust with Mark. Caroline tells 'em all to suck it up. "I'm stuck in a fat ranch with all you dirtbags, and you don't see me or the twins crying, do you? Bitches."
Temptation Challenge time. The winner of today's challenge will get to pick the new teams, which could be huge. To participate, the players have to choose a silver platter, only one of which has the winning card. The losers have to eat whatever's inside their platter. Everyone decides the chance to pick the teams is too important to pass up, except Shannon and Dr. Jeff. Shannon is afraid having the power to pick the teams will only make the bad blood between her and the guys worse. Dr. Jeff, meanwhile, passes because he told his wife he'd never participate in a Temptation Challenge. I can't wait to see what happens when they tempt him with hookers and gin. Pete ends up winning, meaning the rest of the players have to eat whatever's under their lid. Suzi gets Twinkies, then complains she doesn't like Twinkies. Not like Twinkies?! COMMUNIST!!
Before making his decision, Pete asks the group for their input on the new teams. Matt and Seth both say they want to be on the same team, which pretty much guarantees they won't be. Haven't they ever heard of reverse psychology? Dr. Jeff doesn't care. Shannon is upset the guys don't respect the girls as a team, and as people. Hey Shannon, maybe they'd respect you more if you ever won. Just a thought. Suzi squeeks that she wants someone who will "push me." With any luck, off a bridge. Mark says he'll take Suzi. Evidently, he already has the perfect bridge in mind. I hope he has the perfect cheer to commemorate the occasion.

I hope there is some sort of accident that makes Dr. Jeff's ankle bleed in a future episode. If Dr. Jeff loses enough weight he could move his ankle into such a position as to be a holder and a filler at the same time.

Pete and his wife made me cry.

Ya know, with the men now spending so much time with the ladies, it is entirely within the realm of possibilities that Dr. Jeff's ankle WILL bleed--when we girls get together, our menstrual cycles often align...

Oh! And "air biscuit"?! I have never heard that expression, and I coffee'd a little out my nose!

When they first showed Pete in the recap, I was like "I didn't know Pete had a son". That is an amazing amount of weight to lose without surgery and without having a lot of excess skin hanging off. Good for you Pete.
I am so happy they are doing a makeover next week. All these people need haircuts/shampoos. Maybe they can get Suzanne some new eyebrows they freak me out.

I was shocked at Pete in the epilogue also. He looked fantastic. I thought he was in his 50's but if he and his wife are talking about having kids he must be...what...30's? 40's? How old is he? He looked unbelievable.

DAMN! Pete's a good lookin guy! ! ! ! !
I was totally pissed that Dr. Jeff didn't storm off when they voted Pete out. Where the hell is this guy's backbone? He should have walked out with him, arm across the shoulder.

I have been watching this show sunce day one and I have to tell you that Pete has been my inspiration. He looks amazing! I finally got myself off the couch and have changed my eating habits. But best of all I started an excerise program and every time I think I can't make it, I remember Pete climbing that mountain.
Way to go PETE!

I think the reason they kept Dr. Jeff rather than Pete is that they knew Pete could make it in the real world and Dr. Jeff is not ready to go out there and face it on his own yet. I still think he'll use the bad ankle as an excuse, whereas Pete did an amazing job since leaving the show.

I was also blown away by Pete's transformation. And I don't think Dr. Jeff would have done as well.
Has anyone seen the commercial for Honda Pilot that shows a man leaving a deep impression on everything (lip marks on his wife's cheek, indented hand print on the wall, deep foot prints in the floor)? Is it my eyes playing tricks on me or is that Ryan - the winner of Biggest Loser 1? It looks just like him!

When Seth lost zero pounds, I couldn't help but say to myself "Seth, you've lost diet rite zero pounds" lol.
I missed the last part for The Amazing Race. Couldn't believe my eyes in seeing that Andrea said that. I wish I could have seen the look on her face in seeing the diet rite video. Where's those b**** tits now. Oh wait, there on you. Rimshot!
